Head Lice (Regulations)

If a student has brown nits, the student will be removed from the classroom and a letter will be sent home to the parent/ guardian stating that the nits must be removed before the student can be readmitted to school. The parent/guardian must bring the student to the office. The student will not be allowed to ride the bus to school or be readmitted to school until the office checks the student's head. If the student is free and clear of lice, the student may return to class.

If the student is sent to the office with live bugs, the student will be removed from the classroom and the parent/guardian will be called to pick up the student. The parent must bring the student the next day to the office. The student will not be allowed to ride the bus to school or be readmitted to school until the office checks the student's head. If the student is free and clear of bugs, the student may return to class.

If a student has recurring lice problems, it will be up to the discretion of the office personnel to request a release from a doctor or health professional stating that the student has been treated and is free of lice. The school has the right to contact the Department of Human Services, if the problem is not solved.

ALL NITS MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE THE STUDENT CAN RETURN TO SCHOOL. IF THERE ARE A FEW NITS, THE PARENT MUST REMOVE THEM.
